The ruins of the ancient city of Tikal, where the Teotihuacan population was discovered. Autonomous zone in the city To the naked eye – and on archaeologists’ maps – the structure looks like a hill amid the undulating landscape of Tikal, the ancient Maya city-state in the lowlands of northern Guatemala. But when the researchers zoomed in on the image with a laser scanning device called LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging), they saw a man-made pyramid structure. , hidden under the soil and vegetation accumulated for thousands of years. This structure is actually part of an old residential area, different from most structures that have existed in Tikal. It has a distinctive shape, orientation and architectural features commonly found in Teotihuacan, a powerful city-state belonging to another civilization, near present-day Mexico City, 1200km west of Tikal. Upon closer inspection, archaeologists found that the complex appeared to be a copy of the giant Citadel square in Teotihuacan but was only half the size. The new discovery of a massive monument at the heart of Tikal – one of the most widely excavated and studied archaeological sites on Earth, shows that LiDAR is revolutionizing archeology in Central America, where these sites The jungle often renders satellite imagery useless. From here, however, a difficult question also arises: What role does an area of ​​the remote Teotihuacan city-state play in the heart of this Maya capital? After studying images from LiDAR, Edwin Román-Ramírez, Director of the South Tikal Archaeological Project conducted excavations in the summer of 2020. Digging tunnels into the site, his team made the discovery. Building tools, funeral offerings, pottery, and weapons are typical of early fourth-century Teotihuacan. From censers decorated with the rain god Teotihuacan, to darts made of green obsidian in central Mexico, the site is likely a quasi-autonomous neighborhood in central Tikal. Román-Ramírez said: “We know that the Teotihuacans had some presence and influence in Tikal and nearby Maya areas before 378. But it is not clear how well the Mayans were associated with the most powerful kingdom in the region. . Now there is evidence that their relationship is even closer than that.” Relationship between two civilizations The ruins of the Citadel Square of the Teotihuacan civilization. Thomas Garrison – a geographer at the University of Texas – Austin (USA), specializing in the use of digital technology for archaeological research, said that the above findings proved to a certain extent that the America’s old town isn’t too different from today’s cosmopolitan cities. “There is a mixture of cultures and people of different backgrounds and languages ​​coexist, maintaining their identity in one city,” he said. A study funded by the Pacunam LiDAR Initiative, which published groundbreaking findings in 2018, reveals a vast network of ancient cities in the Maya lowlands, home to millions of people. people, more than previously thought. Scientists Edwin Román – Ramírez noted that the above findings do not confirm that the builders of the complex came from Teotihuacan. “But what we found shows that, for more than a century people who are more or less familiar with Teotihuacan culture and traditions have lived there, in their own region,” he said. Based on ceramic designs found in the ruins, the team estimates that construction at the site began at least 100 years before 378, an important date in Mayan history. According to the Maya inscriptions, the king of Teotihuacan sent a general called the Born of Fire to overthrow the king of Tikal, Jaguar Paw, and put his young son in charge of the country. Born of Fire arrived in Tikal on January 16, 378, the same day that Jaguar Paw “entered the water” – a Mayan metaphor for death. After being annexed, Tikal flourished for several centuries, conquering and pacifying neighboring cities, and spreading their culture throughout the plains. Tikal’s hegemony during this period is well documented, but it is not clear why, after decades of friendly coexistence, Teotihuacan turned his back on his former ally. Further excavations at Tikal may provide new insights, but a recent discovery in Teotihuacan suggests that cultural conflict may have sparked the breakup between these two powerful city-states. A team of scientists led by Nawa Sugiyama, an archaeologist at the University of California, Riverside (USA), has discovered a “Maya house” at Teotihuacan. The opulent buildings here are decorated with splendid Mayan murals, suggesting that the inhabitants were either elite diplomats or aristocratic families. But just before Tikal was annexed in 378, the murals were smashed to pieces and buried. A nearby pit was filled with shattered human skeletons, indicating the sudden shift from diplomacy to violent confrontation between the two city-states. “What went wrong in that relationship, when a bunch of elite Maya residents were massacred, their buildings were demolished, all their belongings were thrown away, and then their homeland was conquered. ruled by a child king?” asked Francisco Estrada-Belli, an archaeologist at Tulane University. It is also one of the great mysteries of Central America that scientists are trying to answer.

Hanoi’s collective quarters began to be built around 1957 of the last century (Collective A12 Khuong Thuong, 2018, painting by architect Pham Thanh Son) Each housing model has its advantages and disadvantages. On a more distant occasion, according to the writer of this article, the collective quarters of Hanoi began to be built around the 1950s of the last century. At that time, it was not only the residence of many families of cadres and civil servants, but also a great dream of many Hanoi people. Housing is always an urgent issue in big cities in the face of increasing demand from people to have a place to settle down. Many ideas and models of condominiums with many segments, depending on the income level of the people. Today’s apartments have many names, pure Vietnamese also have, some Westerners also have, but people are sometimes classified by just concepts: “Commercial apartment” and “Social apartment”. The more luxury an apartment is, the more the investor always tries to build around it a relatively complete ecosystem. That is also the criterion for many people to decide when to spend money to buy an apartment. But Hanoi also has many condominiums called “lonely apartments”. Loneliness is because only the building grows up, but there are no services or utilities around. There are also apartments that residents wittyly describe in humorous ways such as: Fixed location, harmonious yin and yang, peaceful neighbors … – That’s the way only apartments are built on the foundation. of old cemeteries or when looking out to the balcony is seen directly below the tomb stretching ahead. Collective E5B Trung Tu (Painting by architect Nguyen Hoang Lam) When in an apartment, the owner, although the owner of the house, is still governed by a community with its own principles. For example, if you want to put a drill on the wall of your house, you also have to ask for permission from the building management board, or to transport large and heavy things, you must also ask for a paper to show. There are also long-term relationships with neighboring residents. Someone said, the higher the apartment building, the more distant the relationship between residents in your building. In social condominiums, where residents are mainly low-income people, from many different localities, the structural community relationship becomes stronger. There or there are “hallway parties” all night long, thus increasing the connection between the apartments. Small residents in the same corridor sometimes act as “goodwill ambassadors”, serving as a bridge for fathers and mothers of families to bond together. “The apartment building is like a miniature society in which there are many classes of society with different jobs, occupations, and personalities. People were engaging in social relationships with people on the same floor and court almost every step of the way. Therefore, if reconciled, it becomes attached. If there is conflict, it is difficult to balance it ”. Journalist Ho Viet Thinh If comparing in many correlations, housing also has advantages that an apartment cannot have. In worrying about food safety and hygiene, homeowners can turn their rooftop into a place to raise chickens and grow clean vegetables to improve their meals. They can also decide to interfere with the structure of the house they are in without having to ask anyone for permission. Therefore, an apartment sometimes makes people think of it as an inn that one can own but is not authorized to decide in many respects. There is a story that a rural child went to the city to be told by his parents to his uncle’s whereabouts. The boy who looked at the large and beautiful apartment thought that the whole building belonged to his uncle, until he was engrossed in discovering that he realized where he lived was only a small corner of a large cube. Some of the funnier people in that situation happily said: All of these courts belong to me, but I didn’t live all the time so I left them for rent. Condominiums solve the urgent problems of big cities today in the face of the increasing demand of people when they want to have a place to settle down. The apartment building is like a miniature society in which there are many classes of society with different jobs, occupations, and personalities. People were involved in social relationships with people on the same floor and court almost every step of the way. Therefore, if reconciled, it becomes attached. If there is conflict, it is difficult to balance it. Like where I live, there are people who always want the building security guard to have absolute control over the strangers. Journalist Ho Viet Thinh They suggest, if the guest of a house, the host must go down to the hall to pick up, doing so both to ensure security and show hospitality. Another person reacts, if applying this principle, the host invites about 5 guests to come to play, each of them comes in a different time frame, the homeowner will be thousands of hard times. Other people are additional witty, it is best to go in groups. When the quantity is enough, call the landlord down to pick up once for convenience. Each person has their own reason, their own personality and needs to be reconciled.
